Abstract
The nucleation field, as measured in the DeBlois experiment, should in principle be corrected for demagnetization, and for the field falloff. The correction for the demagnetization has been shown before to be negligibly small in practical cases and this is proved again here. The falloff, on the other hand, implies a correction of about 20% to the field at the center of the reversing coil. This correcting factor is calculated as a function of the coil dimensions, assuming, for the meantime, a perfectly smooth whisker.
